Girls Football

Today the Year 5/6 girls had some experts come in to school to coach them in football skills.
Ben, Daniel and Flea from Suburbs spent an hour with the girls teaching dribbling, kicking skills and playing games. 
Check out the student's comments below the photos.





I liked how it teaches teamwork

It helped us get fit.
by Ruby-Jean
It was great how we learnt to dribble the ball and move it with our feet.
by Sienna
I liked how we had a competitive woman's football player there to show us. She plays for the NZ International Football team and has been to two Olympics.

It was the most fun day of my life.

Learning Thru Play

This afternoon Kereru and Kotuku Classes spent some time together.
The students were given a wide choice of tasks and games to choose from. 
They self managed their play and everyone was busy and resourceful.
It was great to see everyone cooperating with each other and having a lot of fun!
